‘You’ve Got to Know the’ — Alexander McQueen Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Muscle Tank

“You’ve got to know the rules to break them. That’s what I’m here for, to demolish the rules but to keep the tradition.” These words hung as gallery text in “Savage Beauty,” the Met’s 2011 retrospective of Alexander McQueen, who apprenticed on Savile Row at sixteen before spending two decades slashing everything he had learned there. The order was the point: master the craft first, then earn the right to wreck it. Real innovation tends to come from someone who knows exactly what they are breaking, and why it held.
